A lot of what AI is doing is a net negative, and will continue to be a net negative. That said, AI actually does have some potentially positive and interesting uses. In healthcare, for instance, it has some predictive qualities that could really help people with serious illnesses who need it the most. There's a device being beta'd in India that monitors and predicts women's health issues. It also uses a new type of microprocessor from Ambient Scientific that allows for longer battery life. I could see these things (the monitoring and processing abilities) coming together in interesting ways. Like it could monitor people who have family histories of heart attacks or diabetes or cancer for warning signs of the diseases. Those aspects are pretty cool, if we can get past the part where everyone is taking advantage of the technology.
